Make sense of a changing world

The weekly explorations of a generalist, synthesist, and curator. From a very broad and changing list of topics, each issue delivers a carefully curated selection of articles, from the essential to the intriguing and the curious.

Some recurring inquiries

• Where is technology going, how can it be more humane?
• How can we bring about the futures we want?
• What are the important signals of change and past lessons which might provide glimpses of what’s coming?
• How should cities evolve for their citizens?
• Are AIs new competitors or new companions?
• What of the climate, ecosystems, and systems in general?
